a day to myself

i like the days when i get to do nothing, and not feel guilty about it.

my day started off waking up at the wife's (those who know me, know what i mean; those who don't know me, well don't worry about it) after inviting myself over for a movie-junkfood-sleep-over night. it's great to have friends to catch up with and a place to escape from the parents.

we rented 2012. a lot happens in that movie, but more just to have it happen. a good deal of special f/x, yes, but a somewhat weak story overall, i.m.h.o. regardless, it filled almost two hours. oh, and during those two hours, a thunderstorm came through and put a tree in wife's front yard. okay, so really a big branch, but still new to the landscaping features.

back to my day, this day. woke up and got ready to leave. early. wife had to be somewhere at 7.30, which meant we had to leave at 7.15. notice that i didn't have to be anywhere, but i got up and left at said, early hour. i'm that nice.

maman and i went for breakfast (a day earlier than our weekly/bi-weekly routine) and did a bit of shopping. (i'll try to make this less step-by-step of my day...)

as this entry's title reads, this day was a day to myself. when i got home, i did nought stressful. i lounged by the pool as i cleaned and vacuumed it (i like the word vacuum - two uu's. continuum has it too. others?.... back to my point...)
i had a bite to eat, then lounged some more.

napped (or let's just say i did)

this evening i decided to go to the movies by myself. i don't find it weird. i got in the habit of going alone when i lived abroad and had to find ways to keep busy. i saw prince of persia and very very much enjoyed it. not just because jake is in it.... but yes, nice, mmm... interesting-enough storyline (for having been based on a video game) and nice f/x and intrigue. i'd recommend it.

now home, typing. tomorrow i'll sleep in a bit more than i did today. maybe till 8.00.

that's my life today. a day to myself
aren't you glad you read it?
